She shoots. . .

. . .  she scores!

Hello, everyone! I just reviewed some of my April goals. Wow--did I have a lot of them; however some were longer term goals, so I won't freak out, yet. As I stated before, I hate setting goals because I typically get really negative when I do not achieve them. Well, my name is Debb, and I did not achieve all of my goals this month, and I'm ok. Sheesh--talk about personal growth!

Weight
I met my weight goal of being down 43 pounds and 53 inches. Almost exactly! I'm  going to shoot for another 8 pounds (two a week), and since I don't know how to set inch goals, I'll set an arbitrary one of being down 60 inches. I would like to target the belly some more this month, so maybe I'll consciously work on that.

Wellness
Good news! I went to the doctor to have blood work on Friday. Got the results in the mail today! I am not longer considered diabetic. No more meds. My blood pressure was good after being off my medicine for a month (which I don't advocate others doing, but I was very careful). No more meds! My total cholesterol is optimal; my good cholesterol is good, could be a little higher; my bad cholesterol is still a little high. Meds are iffy. I'm going to try to work on it with diet. Now this surprised me--my uric acid level is high, which causes gout (which is still a drunk ol' man disease in my head). I think without a flare up, I will continue to go without my medicine for that. I need to cut out some red meat and seafood, I think. That will help. And Xypstix for flare-ups! AND---I can cut my antidepressant in half! So excited!

Have not started an exercise regimen yet, but I've given myself the goal of the end of May this month. So, it's time! I've found some fun-looking exercises on Pinterest. I'll try them.

Xyngular Business
This one is where I really fell down last month. It is frustrating, but as I told one of my friends, I'm not giving up! Goal for this month--Gold Manager. I can do it. I still am working on developing myself as a strong leader, that sponsors people and coaches them, as well. I will continue to cultivate relationships within the company. I will also reevaluate my "Whys." I think about them all the time. I need to find what really motivates me to build!!

I'll work on my school and personal ones later. I've got some work to do tonight. And books to read. And t.v. to watch. . . .hahaha!

New month--new energy!
